Landlord and Tenant Rights and Responsibilities
questions & answers
Question: Is a washing machine considered an appliance that a land lord must replace if no longer working? Are they able to include no longer replacing appliances in the lease contract? Or indicate the tenant must come up with $100 and they replace it?
Answer: I doubt that a washing machine would be considered an essential service so the landlord would not be required to replace or repair it. Likewise there would be nothing wrong with a lease provision indicating no replacement or that the tenant must contribute to the cost of repair. Review your lease agreement to see if the washing machine is included in services.
